Abstract

Compositions and kits comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH and a nucleotide sequence that encodes GnRH and compositions and kits comprising a GHRH protein and GnRH protein are disclosed. Use of such compositions and kits in methods of enhancing fertility in mammals comprising the step of administering said compositions to the mammal are disclosed.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 03 September 2009 (03.09.2009)CLAIMS

Λ pharmaceutical composition formulated for administration to a mammal in order to introduce to a cell of the mammal a GHRH product and a GnRH product, wherein the GHRH product comprises a nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH or a GHRH protein, and the GnRH product comprises a nucleotide sequence that encodes GnRH or a GnRH protein.
2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH and the nucleotide sequence that encodes GnRH, independently, are a horse sequence, dog sequence, cat sequence, pig sequence, cow sequence, sheep sequence, goat sequence, or primate sequence.
3. The composition according to any one of claims 1 -2, wherein the nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH and the nucleotide sequence that encodes GnRH are wild-type sequences.
4. The composition according to claim 3, wherein the nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH and the nucleotide sequence that encodes GnRH are codon optimized sequences.
5. The composition according to claim 4, wherein the nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH encodes a GHRH having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5.
6. The composition according to claim S, wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes GnRH encodes a GnRH having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3.
7. The composition according to claim 6, comprising a plasmid that comprises the nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH and the nucleotide sequence that encodes GnRH, or a mixture of a first plasmid that comprises the nucleotide sequence that encodes GHRH and a second plasmid that comprises the nucleotide sequence that encodes GnRH.
